FA-101T Installation and Operation Manual
Introduction
The FA-101T is a supervised sin gle-zone 24V DC Fire Alarm Control Panel. Th e panel provide s the
following features:
• 1 Class B detection zone
• 1 Class B signal zone, 1.7A
• DIP switch selectable signal circuit outputs such as temporal or steady
• Alarm and trouble relay contacts
• Remote trouble and A.C. ON indication
• Zone silence/disconnect switch
• Buzzer silence switch
• LED indicators for zone alarm and trouble, A.C. On, Battery Fault, Ground Fault, Common
Trouble, Signal Trouble and Signal Silenced
Mechanical Installation
The panel can be surface or flush mounted. Refer to Figure 1 on page 5 for dimensions.
Surface Mounting
1. Mark the location of the four mounting holes.
2. Install the top two screws into the wall and place the panel over the screws.
3. Install the bottom screws and tighten down all four screws.
Flush Mounting
1. Make the wall cut-out according to the panel dimensions.
2. Remove the control panel door.
3. Mount the flush mounting trim (model FA-102TR) to the back box using the screws and nuts
provided with the flush mounting kit.
4. Re-install the door on top of the flush trim. The cam lock may require a minor adjustment in
order to compensate for the flush trim.
Function Selection
The following jumpers are available for function selection. Refer to Figure 2 on page 6 for location.
• JW1: Cut for resettable +24V DC supply.
• JW2: Cut to make auxiliary relay disconnectable.
• JW3: Cut for normally open trouble contacts.
• JW4: Cut for normally closed trouble contacts.

Wiring
DIP SWITCH DSW1 is used to set the preferred signal zone 1 o utput, the signal silence inhi bit, and
the common trouble flash rate. The default output for the signal zone is temporal code.
not used
ON
DIP switch DSW1
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Signal Zone
ON - steady
OFF - temporal code (default)
ON - 1 minute signal silence inhibit
OFF - normal signal silence (default)
• Temporal Code: 3 rounds of 0.5 second ON, 0.5 second OFF, then 1.5 second pause.
• Steady: Signal on continuously.
Note: Any time the DIP switches in DSW1 are positioned (ON or OFF), the panel must
be reset by holding the Reset button for 5 seconds.
Trouble Buzzer and LED
ON - steady buzzer and LED
OFF - Pulsing Buzzer and LED (default)
Wiring
Detection Zone
The system has one detection zone. Refer to Figure 3 on p age 7 for wiring instruction and to Figure
4 on page 8 for wire size.
Signal Zone
There is one signal zone available for bells and horns providing 1.7A of signal power. Refer to
Figure 3 on page 7 for wiring instruction and to Figure 5 page 8 on for wire size.
Alarm and Trouble Relays
Alarm and trouble relay contacts are pro vided. Refer to Figu re 6 on p age9 for contact location and
designation.

FA-101T Installation and Operation Manual
Remote Annunciation
Annunciation outputs are provided for remote trouble indicator and buzzer. Refer to Figure 6 on
page 9 for wiring instructions.
A.C. Power And Batteries
The A.C. power is connected to the terminal block above the transformer.
Use Gel Cell or Sealed Lead-Acid type of batteries only. Connect the batteries after power up. Use
24V 4AH batteries for 24 hours standby and 5 or 30 minutes of alarm. Fo r greater accuracy, use the
battery calculations chart located in Appendix B on page 14.
ELECTRICAL RATING: 120V, 60Hz, 1A / 240V, 50Hz, 0.5A
Trouble Indicators and Controls
Refer to Figure 2 on page 6 for the location of indicators and controls.
Common Trouble LED
The yellow Common Trouble LED will flash and the buzzer will sound for any trouble in the panel
(unless DSW1-8 is ON, then the Common Trouble LED will illuminate steadily and the buzzer will
sound).
Buzzer/Buzzer Silence Switch
The buzzer will sound intermittently for any trouble. The buzzer will sound steadily for any alarm in
the system. Operating the Buzzer Silence switch will silence the buzzer. Turning the Buzzer Silence
switch OFF normal will sound the buzzer steadily.
Zone Trouble LED
The yellow Zone Trouble LED will illuminate steadily for an open loop in the zone.
Battery Fault LED
Battery removal, low voltage and open battery leads will turn on the yellow Battery Fault LED and
the Common Trouble LED.
Ground Fault LED
Any ground fault of 10K ohms or less will turn on the yellow Ground Fault LED steadily, fl ashing the
Common Trouble LED and sounding the Common Trouble buzzer intermittently.
Signal Trouble LED
The yellow Signal Trouble LED will illuminate steadily for any open or short. (The LED is located
behind the display plate.)
3
Sequence of Operation
Sequence of Operation
Refer to Figure 2 on page 6 for the location of indicators and controls.
Normal
All indicators are normally OFF except for the green A.C. ON LED.
Alarm
A red zone alarm LED will illuminate steadily for incoming alarm.
Signal Silence
If the 60 second signal silence inhibit is selected, the signal cannot be silenced for 60 seconds after
an alarm initiation. Once the 60 seconds have expired, pushing the signal silence switch to the right
will silence all the bells and horns. Once the signal has been silenced, the signal silenced LED will
illuminate. If the switch is in the OFF normal position to the right while there is no alarm condition,
the panel will indicate trouble.
Reset/Lamp Test
Operating the reset switch will restore all latched functions in the panel. The smoke detectors will
reset if all products of combustion are cleared from their chambers. Holding the reset switch for five
seconds will cause the panel to preform a lamp test as well as reset the panel.
System Checkout
Before turning the power on,
1. Check all external wiring for opens, shorts or grounds.
2. Check that transformer cables are securely connected.
3. Check the A.C. power wiring for proper connection. To prevent sparking, do not connect
batteries.
4. Check that all switches are in the normal position to the left.
Power up and Troubleshooting
1. After completing all of the system checkout procedures, power up the panel. The A.C. ON LED
should illuminate.The trouble buzzer should sound intermittently, and the Common Trouble
LED should flash, indicating battery fault.
2. Connect the batteries carefully, observing the correct polarity.The Common Trouble LED
should extinguish. If the Common Trouble LED stays on, check the front panel for the
illumination of the following LEDs:
• Battery LED indicates that the battery voltage may be too low (below 20.4V).
• Ground Fault LED indicates a ground on one or more of the extended wires.
• Zone Trouble LED indicates an open loop or a signal silence switch is in the OFF normal
position to the right.
• Signal Trouble LED indicates an open loop or short in the signal zone.
